Given the fact that Family Life Academy Charter Schools I students will be off this for spring break, the Mount Eden school and other local organizations teamed up to provide students with more knowledge and awareness pertaining to the upcoming annual occasion of Earth Day.
On Thursday, April 18, Family Life Academy Charter Schools I, in collaboration with the Latino Pastoral Action Center (LPAC), South Bronx Unite and the Peace Department, got a head start on Earth Day celebrations with an event that also featured renowned artist Alejandro Durán.
The school’s second annual Earth Day event, which took place at the Family Life Academy Charter Schools I location of 14 W. 170th St., in the Mount Eden neighborhood of the Bronx, aimed to generate awareness and spread knowledge about Earth Day, which takes place annually on April 22 and is held to promote consciousness and protection of the environment against global warming and other harmful factors, in order to make a more habitable environment in the future.
